KABUL, 08 October 2021, (TON): The talks will follow a G20 summit on Afghanistan on October 12 that will seek to help the country avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in the wake of the Taliban takeover
The Kremlin's envoy to Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, said “Russia will invite the Taliban to international talks on Afghanistan scheduled for October 20 in Moscow.”
In response to a question from Russian journalists on whether representatives of the hardline group would be invited to negotiations involving China, India, Iran and Pakistan, Kabulov said: "Yes".
The talks will follow a G20 summit on Afghanistan on October 12 that will seek to help the country avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in the wake of the Taliban takeover.
Kabulov was also asked whether Russia would deliver aid to Afghanistan, where the humanitarian crisis is growing worse, a top UN official warned.
Russia would do, but the details were still being decided, Kabulov said.
